[An underestimated cause of seizure in Europe].

Seizures are very common in the Emergency Department (ED). We present here a case of a young woman with neurocysticercosis ; a worldwide and nearly endemic cause of seizure in the southern hemisphere. Clinical manifestations are very different between patients from asymptomatic to life-threatening hydrocephalus. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical presentation, neuroimaging (CT and MRI) findings, history of exposure, and serologic testing.
